Fissure and fistula Surgery

Fissure and fistula surgeries are procedures performed to treat two different conditions affecting the anal region: anal fissures and anal fistulas.

Anal fissures are small tears or cuts in the lining of the anus, which can cause pain, bleeding, and discomfort during bowel movements. Surgery may be necessary if conservative treatments such as dietary changes, fiber supplements, and topical medications fail to heal the fissure.

After fissure or fistula surgery, patients may experience some pain, swelling, and discomfort in the anal area. Pain medications, stool softeners, and sitz baths may be recommended to help manage symptoms and promote healing. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual patient's healing process.

It's essential to consult with a qualified colorectal surgeon to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for treating anal fissures or fistulas and to discuss the potential risks and benefits of surgery.
